for anyone not familiar with these concepts it is important to note supination of the left hand is very different from bowing the left wrist.

“Ben Hogan details it as a motion in which the left hand (hand towards the target) moves from a “palm down position to a palm up position” as it passes through the hitting area. While true, this description seems incomplete to me. Watch your left (forward) hand as you slowly move it from a hip-high backswing position to a hip-high post-impact position and you will certainly see the hand turn over as Ben describes it. But Ben’s real focus is in illustrating the wrist position at the moment of actual contact with the ball. This is the secret to his famous lag. The last instant of straightening the wrists and the right arm -- is delayed until just after the moment of contact. Ben says that this is the source of the “sweet feeling” he sets out at the beginning of the chapter. The assured establishment of this sensation is accomplished by how you hold the club at address. If you do not set and maintain an upward lifting wrist-cock throughout the backswing and down to the hip-high position, the wrist will not (as Ben describes it) supinate when the club passes through the impact zone.”

I am so glad that I found this site. This is awesome and def some great advices here.

One advice that I received, THAT WOKED FOR ME, is to actually put 60% of your weight on your left leg (right if you are left-handed) before your backswing and downswing while maintaining your head still. This will make sure you are balancing yourself throughout the whole swing and not shifting too much weight from left to right which can cause people to hit it fat because you "hit down" too early.

I need tire looking at the Tiger Woods slow mo videos on the Nike website. You can learn so much by studying them.

I try and achieve this by putting my hands ahead of the ball at address with my irons. This is the standard left arm and club forming a straight line. I think its important not to let the hands get too far ahead of the ball at impact however, and this is what is so difficult, doing this properly and having the strength in the wrist not to artificially jerk that left wrist out to the left.

Great site! very entertaining :-)

Adding to Lee's comment, hit down on your irons, leading with your left hand. It will supinate your wrist and compress the ball against the turf and it'll really fly.

A few years back, I was watching Lee Trevino hit a few balls before a corporate outing and he was talking and giving a little clinic at the same time. I remember him saying, "It's important that you feel like you are hitting the ball with the back of your left (leading) hand". . he was a Hogan fan and that's pure Hogan bowed left wrist supination.
